Valid URI characters

[Rick Bull]

Can someone tell me which characters are allowed in both a URI and a protocol (if different from URIs)?

Thanks for the link. Did you find that in the appendix of HTML 4.01 spec? Anyway I think it had what I wanted - a regular expression for finding URIs which is:


^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?
